·The U.S. Dept. of Education
recently withdrew guidance to states on how to support number of trans students
under Title IX of Federal Civil Rights Act.Title IX ensures that all students can attend school safely
regardless of their race or ethnicity, national origin, religion or sex.

Although the first transgender woman Danica Roem
elected to the House of Delegates in Virginia beat a manRobert Marshall (R) who held the office
for twenty-four years, her victory doesn’t mean the rest of the country will
embrace transsexuals.Roem
centered her campaign around issues that mattered to all people: commuter
traffic, importance of teacher pay, Medicaid expansion, while her opponent
focused on her gender identity.

It seems as if the U.S. as well as the rest of the
world don’t understand transgender people and get termsmixed up that would have enlightened
them.For example, gender identity
is separate from sexual orientation. Gender is a function of culture and about
self-expression.Sexuality is whom
you are attracted to.There are
transgender women that are attracted to cisgender (same gender) women.

None
are true.The transgender
community is diverse and has been around a long time.Cross-dressers are not necessarily the same as trans
genders.One important distinction
that trans genders have is that their gender identities definitely vary from
the labels that were given to them as babies. This statement is true.
